Home EV charging, planned from the switchboard up
Everyone sees the charger on the wall. The part that matters is everything behind it — supply capacity, load management, cable route and protection. We plan that first, so your charger works properly for the life of the car.
01What we look at
Before we quote a single metre of cable
A good EV install is an assessment job first and an installation job second.
Your supply capacity
Single or three phase, main switch rating and existing load — this decides what charger suits.
Spare ways in the board
A dedicated circuit with its own protection. If the board is full, we'll tell you upfront.
Cable route & distance
Garage, carport or driveway — the run length affects cable size and therefore price.
Load management
Where supply is tight, a smart charger can throttle to keep the whole house within limits.
Your car and habits
7kW covers overnight charging for almost everyone. We won't sell you capacity you can't use.
Solar & tariffs
If you have solar or a time-of-use plan, we'll set the charger up to make the most of it.
02Our process
From assessment to first charge
Site assessment
We check your switchboard, supply and the intended charger location — often from photos to start.
Recommend & quote
A charger and installation plan matched to your car, your supply and your budget. Fixed price.
Install & protect
Dedicated circuit, correct RCD type for EV charging, tidy cable route and secure mounting.
Commission & show you
Charger commissioned, app set up, and a walkthrough of scheduling and charge limits before we leave.
03Our promise
The part nobody photographs
Most EV charger problems trace back to the switchboard, not the charger. Undersized cable, the wrong RCD type, or no headroom in the supply will cause nuisance tripping months later. We do that assessment before quoting, which occasionally means telling you the job is bigger than you hoped — but it means it works.

Thinking about a home charger?
Send a photo of your switchboard and where you'd like the charger — we can usually give you a good indication before we visit.
